Judith Cole

Gastonia, NC

Content Editor (online)EditorWriter

As a professional writer/editor/content maven with more years of professional experience than you can shake a stick at—unless you really enjoy shaking sticks—along with interviewing everyone from homeless artists, street soccer activists, business entrepreneurs, designers, chefs, magicians, musicians, assorted celebrities—and even the occasional ecdysiast and dominatrix—I’ve brainstormed/assigned/authored/polished and published both long- and short-form content across a broad swath of subject matter and a wide range of deliverables encompassing pretty much any and everything that’s ever sprung to mind or fallen in my lap that demanded coverage. In addition to a keen ear for language, a finely tuned eye for trends, and the ability to turn out crisp, focused copy quickly and cleanly, I can keep a fair number of plates spinning at the same time, make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, and I play well with others.

Pamela Brill

Northport

A digital and print content provider for national and regional consumer and trade publications, I have spent the last 30 years doing what I love best: creating a compelling story. Be it specialty retail, gift and toy trends, children's books, women's health or parenting issues, the range of topics I have covered knows no bounds. I pride myself on crafting compelling copy, from conception to completion (and yes, I adore alliteration!). An editor and journalist for today's readers, I am equally skilled in generating SEO-rich content.

My work for national magazines and established websites has focused mainly on the body: how to take care of it (health, fitness, nutrition) and how to have fun with it (style, sex, liquor, cigars). I've also written about personal finance, parenting, and weddings. I've been involved in every phase of the editorial process--from idea generation to the final proofread. I'm resourceful, reliable, and ready to match my skills to your editorial style.
